System Training and Rehearsal Suite (STRS)

SCS proposes to develop a System Training and Rehearsal Suite (STRS ¿¿) that will support part task trainers through full mission rehearsal systems. The core thrust of STRS will be to develop nodes that will be used for Realtime Sensor-to-ShooterOperations training and rehearsals. The STRS will extend the Collaboration/Simulation/Visualization technologies currently being developed for AFRL under the Realtime Integrated Planner/Player (RIPP) SBIR.The STRS will allow any Microsoft Windows (Win32) based PC or workstation to be used within a building block system. The STRS will support commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer systems, input devices and output devices. STRS will allow crews tofly/drive/operate mission system simulations in a standalone configuration or participate in distributed Multiple Engagement Simulation (MES) via DIS/HLA (either in collocated classrooms/facilities or distributed/deployed operating locations).Immediate multiple agency (e.g., USAF, USA, USN, SOF, USMC, USCG) applications for STRS include: mission rehearsal systems, mission execution systems, tactics, crew station/display trainers, UCAV mission trainers, indirect fire trainers, urban warfaretrainers, low altitude ingress/egress rehearsal systems, mission system trainers, support and evaluation for dynamic planners, crew station part task trainers, a manned entity within a distributed simulation, an observer within a distributed simulations.The anticipated results of STRS will be a suite of tools for developing turnkey systems that will allow a crewmember to rehearse in realtime and non-realtime most if not all facets of a Sensor-to-Shooter Operations mission. The STRS system will be a highlydeployable system based on commercial computer technologies. Core STRS technologies will be demonstrated to be applicable to all DoD user communities (e.g., USAF, USA, USN, SOF, USMC, USCG).
